7News I-Team was at the Port of Baltimore when U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents intercepted cars stolen from a Bethesda, Maryland dealership. The cars, valued at more than $400,000, were discovered before they disappeared overseas. We realized this operation is a part of a larger car theft ring.

Meanwhile in Ontario, Canada a guy electronically traced the second Range Rover he’s had stolen from his driveway THIS SUMMER to a shipping container at the port of Montreal. He reported where it was to the police who wouldn’t take action, he reported it to Canadian border control who also wouldn’t take action and told him they couldn’t guarantee the container holding his stolen vehicle wouldn’t be loaded and shipped to Africa anyways.He had to go to the port himself and pester the authorities before they’d open the container so he could retrieve his vehicle. The apathy shown by Canadian authorities was beyond pathetic and sad.

We had a RR stolen in NJ. It was located in Port of Baltimore in a shipping container. This happened in Dec of 2021. The authorities sized it in December of 2021. As of Feb of 2022, we still had not received the vehicle back. Authorities stated since it was "exported" we had to pay to reimport it. In March we took an insurance settlement. Ridiculous the red tape to get your own property back.

The authorities sized it in December of 2021 ? Explain what SIZE was it - Small - Medium - Large or Extra large I would suggest you undertake an extensive reading program to educate yourself and learn to become a Master of the English language. Also - learn how to format text and use paragraphs. It is only difficult for those who have an IQ below 80 and are functionally illiterate DO not place a dot . after a numerical value unless the dot represents a decimal point. Continue any additional sentence on the next line. There is no extra fee for that. Pay attention to how text is formatted in newspapers - magazines and BOOKS. Read some of them and learn

I have no doubt the whole operation is known to many but people are paid to be quiet, employed, or used. It has to involve port workers, customs agents, and many others. The fact that all it took was a local news agency a few days to locate the stolen cars says much. At the same time, I have no doubt the customs agents that are clean are simply overwhelmed.

IT IS AMAZING HOW SOMEONE LIKE ME could go overseas and buy a car that was not made to be sold in the USA and ship it here and US Customs will intercept it every time and tell me the car needs DOT and EPA approval and that I need to go through all this red tape to get it into compliance or I will need to ship it back or they will destroy it. Yet, car thieves here can just steal cars and ship them out right in front of customs agents and all of a sudden they do not have enough agents and they can't look in every container. I am just saying.

What you are "just saying" is a misunderstanding of the process. Import and export are two completely different things. Items shipped out of the US, when containerized, and not always inspected. However, every imported vehicle has to be accounted for. Most of the time, it's impossible to import a non-US vehicle unless it's at least 25 years old. In this case, it's not even about exporting cars, as any car can be exported. It's about cargo that happens to be stolen merchandise.

From bases on the Barbary coast, North Africa, the Barbary pirates raided ships traveling through the Mediterranean and along the northern and western coasts of Africa, plundering their cargo and enslaving the people they captured. From at least 1500, the pirates also conducted raids along seaside towns of Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, England, the Netherlands and as far away as Iceland, capturing men, women and children. On some occasions, settlements such as Baltimore, Ireland were abandoned following the raid, only being resettled many years later. Between 1609 and 1616, England alone had 466 merchant ships lost to Barbary pirates.[29] Slave quarters Edit At night the slaves were put into prisons called 'bagnios' (derived from the Italian word "bagno" for public bath, inspired by the Turks' use of Roman baths at Constantinople as prisons),[30] which were often hot and overcrowded. Bagnios had chapels, hospitals, shops and bars run by captives.[31] Galley slaves Edit See also: Galley slave Conquest of Tunis by Charles V and liberation of Christian galley slaves in 1535 Although the conditions in bagnios were harsh, they were better than those endured by galley slaves. Most Barbary galleys were at sea for around eighty to a hundred days a year, but when the slaves assigned to them were on land, they were forced to do hard manual labor. There were exceptions: galley slaves of the Ottoman Sultan in Constantinople would be permanently confined to their galleys, and often served extremely long terms, averaging around nineteen years in the late seventeenth-century and early eighteenth-century periods. These slaves rarely got off the galley but lived there for years.[32] During this time, rowers were shackled and chained where they sat, and never allowed to leave. Sleeping (which was limited), eating, defecation and urination took place at the seat to which they were shackled. There were usually five or six rowers on each oar. Overseers would walk back and forth and whip slaves considered not to be working hard enough. Number of people enslaved Edit According to Robert Davis, between 1 million and 1.25 million Europeans were captured by Barbary pirates and sold as slaves in North Africa and Ottoman Empire between the 16th and 19th centuries.[33][34] However, to extrapolate his numbers, Davis assumes the number of European slaves captured by Barbary pirates were constant for a 250-year period, stating: There are no records of how many men, women and children were enslaved, but it is possible to calculate roughly the number of fresh captives that would have been needed to keep populations steady and replace those slaves who died, escaped, were ransomed, or converted to Islam. On this basis it is thought that around 8,500 new slaves were needed annually to replenish numbers-about 850,000 captives over the century from 1580 to 1680. By extension, for the 250 years between 1530 and 1780, the figure could easily have been as high as 1,250,000.[5] Thomas Jefferson When Thomas Jefferson became president, the pirates increased the cost of the tribute and Jefferson refused to pay it. Instead, he sent United States warships to the Mediterranean Sea, which eventually began bombarding the pirate bases. The pirates surrendered in 1805 in what came to be known as the First Barbary War. What was the white slave trade called? The Barbary slave trade involved slave markets in the Barbary States. European slaves were acquired by Barbary pirates in slave raids on ships and by raids on coastal towns from Italy to the Netherlands, Ireland and the southwest of Britain, as far north as Iceland and into the Eastern Mediterranean. Slavery in medieval Portugal Slaves exported from Africa during this initial period of the Portuguese slave trade primarily came from Mauritania, and later the Upper Guinea coast. Scholars estimate that as many as 156,000 slaves were exported from 1441 to 1521 to Iberia and the Atlantic islands from the African coast. Did Brazil import more slaves than the United States? Work on the wharf has also revealed the scale of the slave trade in Brazil. Of the 9.5 million people captured in Africa and brought to the New World between the 16th and 19th century, nearly 4 million landed in Rio, 10 times more than all those sent to the United States.Oct 23, 2012

They are rarely able to tie the actual individuals to these kinds of crimes because of the use of shell corporations and the inconsistent paper trails of false identities and signatures. It takes years to sift through some of these cases; many of the perpetrators will likely be long gone or already locked up for something else by the time they have the evidence to go to trial. It's a broken system.

I'm a retired truck driver I hauled containers in and out of the port of Baltimore. Customs inspected every container I brought into the port containing cars for inspection. The biggest problem I saw was most of these cars were loaded in a way to make it difficult to check the VIN number. I've seen people loading overseas containers with household goods on South Newkirk Street right next to the port. Some of these containers had cars loaded on them and they would completely load household goods on them like they were trying to hide the vehicles.

So, who’s to say the vehicle in the shipping container is stolen? They can’t open the seal on the container without probable cause. The customs agent even said so. They just need that excuse. But if the bad guys put down what is really in there, they can’t open them. However, if they put down what’s really in them the person shipping has to pay a tariff goods leaving and coming into the country get taxed, that tax depends on what it is. Something expensive gets a higher tax than something cheaper. Which is why the agent said they look and the manifest and see that the person put down a car but when they looked it was a pickup. That means they lied because a pickup is a higher tax. But if they didn’t lie they would have no cause to open the container.

@@bingohhhhhhhhhhhh George Washington's Vision" This afternoon, as I was sitting at this table engaged in preparing a dispatch, something seemed to disturb me. Looking up, I beheld standing opposite me a singularly beautiful female. So astonished was I, for I had given strict orders not to be disturbed, that it was some moments before I found language to inquire the cause of her presence. A second, a third and even a fourth time did I repeat my question, but received no answer from my mysterious visitor except a slight raising of her eyes. By this time I felt strange sensations spreading through me. I would have risen but the riveted gaze of the being before me rendered volition impossible. I assayed once more to address her, but my tongue had become useless, as though it had become paralyzed. A new influence, mysterious, potent, irresistible, took possession of me. All I could do was to gaze steadily, vacantly at my unknown visitor. Gradually the surrounding atmosphere seemed as if it had become filled with sensations, and luminous. Everything about me seemed to rarefy, the mysterious visitor herself becoming more airy and yet more distinct to my sight than before. I now began to feel as one dying, or rather to experience the sensations which I have sometimes imagined accompany dissolution. I did not think, I did not reason, I did not move; all were alike impossible. I was only conscious of gazing fixedly, vacantly at my companion. Presently I heard a voice saying, "Son of the Republic, look and learn," while at the same time my visitor extended her arm eastwardly, I now beheld a heavy white vapor at some distance rising fold upon fold. This gradually dissipated, and I looked upon a stranger scene. Before me lay spread out in one vast plain all the countries of the world - Europe, Asia, Africa and America. I saw rolling and tossing between Europe and America the billows of the Atlantic, and between Asia and America lay the Pacific. "Son of the Republic," said the same mysterious voice as before, "look and learn." At that moment I beheld a dark, shadowy being, like an angel, standing or rather floating in mid-air, between Europe and America. Dipping water out of the ocean in the hollow of each hand, he sprinkled some upon America with his right hand, while with his left hand he cast some on Europe. Immediately a cloud raised from these countries, and joined in mid-ocean. For a while it remained stationary, and then moved slowly westward, until it enveloped America in its murky folds. Sharp flashes of lightning gleamed through it at intervals, and I heard the smothered groans and cries of the American people. A second time the angel dipped water from the ocean, and sprinkled it out as before. The dark cloud was then drawn back to the ocean, in whose heaving billows in sank from view. A third time I heard the mysterious voice saying, "Son of the Republic, look and learn," I cast my eyes upon America and beheld villages and towns and cities springing up one after another until the whole land from the Atlantic to the Pacific was dotted with them. Again, I heard the mysterious voice say, "Son of the Republic, the end of the century cometh, look and learn." At this the dark shadowy angel turned his face southward, and from Africa I saw an ill omened specter approach our land. It flitted slowly over every town and city of the latter. The inhabitants presently set themselves in battle array against each other. As I continued looking I saw a bright angel, on whose brow rested a crown of light, on which was traced the word "Union," bearing the American flag which he placed between the divided nation, and said, "Remember ye are brethren." Instantly, the inhabitants, casting from them their weapons became friends once more, and united around the National Standard. "And again I heard the mysterious voice saying "Son of the Republic, look and learn." At this the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia and Africa. Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene: From each of these countries arose thick, black clouds that were soon joined into one. Throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men, who, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America. Our country was enveloped in this volume of cloud, and I saw these vast armies devastate the whole county and burn the villages, towns and cities that I beheld springing up. As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of sword, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I heard again the mysterious voice saying, "Son of the Republic, look and learn" When the voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth, and blew a long and fearful blast. "Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shone the word Union, and who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were will nigh overcome, but who immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed the battle. Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice saying, "Son of the Republic, look and learn." As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious! Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and cities springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with a loud voice: "While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last." And taking from his brow the crown on which blazoned the word "Union," he placed it upon the Standard while the people, kneeling down, said, "Amen." The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld. This also disappearing, I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor, who, in the same voice I had heard before, said, "Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted: Three great perils will come upon the Republic. The most fearful is the third, but in this greatest conflict the whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land and the Union." With these words the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown to me the birth, progress, and destiny of the United States.

This really should be very easy for them to stop in its tracks, to ship a car out of the country you have to have a MSO short for manufacturer's certificate of origin. If a car is found in a container and the freight forwarder doesn't have a certified copy of the MSO he should immediately lose his license and ability to ship.

This reminds me of when, late actor, Kenneth Michael Williams did a TV series called "Black Market" where he went to the streets & spoke to people involved in this enterprise at all levels. From the jackers, who were sometimes early teens, all the way to the shipyards & on to Africa. There were hundreds of nice vehicles from America, with Obama stickers on them, parked in fields in Zimbabwe awaiting there new "owners" at the end of the process. lol

They just keep cycling the ports they use when one gets too hot. For years, there have been cycling stories about car theft rings shipping cars around the world via Houston TX, Charleston SC, Baltimore MD, Newark NJ, Philadelphia PA, Providence RI, and Montreal in Canada. Once they manage to cycle one way, they just go back to the starting port (often years later, well after the heat cools down) and spend years working their way through the list again. Worst part is, the shipping containers can be loaded anywhere and delivered to the port via truck or rail.

As stupid as thieves are, you can do something called checking the steering wheel for fingerprints. Newer fingerprints are very fresh on a steering wheel & can provide clues as to who the suspects are.

A $30 apple airtag would seemingly eliminate almost 100% of auto theft. Well it wouldn't eliminate it from happening initially but it would allow people to track their car if stolen. I put a wheel lock on the back side of my steering wheel EVERY single time I have it parked anywhere. I guess maybe somebody could get it off of there but I don't see how anybody is ever going to steal my car. My advice to everybody is to do at least something to prevent auto theft. It doesn't take much effort.

Although it may seem AirTags is a good idea, it can easily be disable, if a thief has an iPhone he’ll be notified about it who can then disable it or can search it and take the battery out. Other type of GPS would be ideal.
